Scotland back-row John Hardie has been ruled out of this clash after being named in the original squad as the starting openside flanker. Hardie is battling with a head knock and his place in the starting XV is taken by Ryan Wilson. To accommodate Wilson?s inclusion and retain cover for the forwards, hooker Fraser Brown will now take the number 20 shirt as back-row replacement, with Ross Ford starting. Kevin Bryce comes into the matchday squad to take the replacement hooker role vacated by Ford. Ryan Grant, Jon Welsh, Richie Gray, Josh Strauss, Henry Pyrgos, Peter Horne and Sean Maitland, who started on the bench during Scotland's Pool B win against Japan on Wednesday, have been promoted to the starting XV Pyrgos named as the captain.
